Mom's the best
"My son brought a girlfriend home when he was in university. I was making dinner for them in the kitchen and he said to her, 'When I was in high school, Mom made me a home cooked meal, as good as this or better, every night.' I had no idea that my labours had made such an impression on him." -- Daphne, Toronto
Teaching values
"I'm an academic advisor at a university, and have had several years of teaching experience, so am comfortable in front of a group. Recently, I was talking to a group about first year electives, and after the presentation, one of the students said that he was impressed I was able to list the subjects and their faculty association (humanities, social sciences, sciences). He said he could hear the pages of the Rolodex in my memory turning as I was talking and writing on the board." -- Anthea, Thunder Bay, Ont.
Wellness inspiration
"After a few months of trying to get fit, I was feeling frustrated that I wasn't achieving the results I wanted. A woman at the gym came over to me one day and told me how fabulous and fit I was beginning to look. She said my success was inspiring to her. Little did she know that by telling me, in turn she was inspiring me!" -- Kim, Sarnia, Ont.
"I'm often told that I have great posture. In fact, two elderly ladies were so impressed with my stance, I had a real laugh trying to convince them that I had never undergone surgery to place a steel rod in my back!" -- Ann, Toronto
"One time, after a long and nonsensical e-mail exchange where my friend Josh and I tried to out-fun one another, he wrote, 'I love your brain.'" -- Jowita, Toronto
